Alot of people say charge him with a DWI, but how can they? If he wasnt at the scene of the accident when the police arrived and didnt track him down till the next day they cant. How can they prove he was drinking the night of the accident? he couldve had a dew beers in the morning

I know how the cops are in NC so If I'm going to have a few, it will be at my house! I've live all over the US and I have never seen such an obvious double standard between law enforcers and its citizens following the LAW! The LAW applies to everyone unless you live in North Carolina!!

What does this have to do with UNC-W? Every time there is a story about this nature, you have to throw UNC-W into it. Did you flunk out, or are you just stupid! Appears to me you are both of the two. You need to get a life or a GED!

if you were as educated as you think you are you would realize I am referring to the double standard that exist right now, something I have never thought was right, even a 1st grader would be able to recognize this, we were all supposed to be crated equal, is there a problem?

He was awarded for catching the most drunk drivers and was selected as officer of the year.

Last week Lindsey attended an awards banquet for Justice in Motion, where he was honored for having the most DWI arrests in 2009 for the UNCW Police Department. In April, Lindsey was also chosen by UNCW Police as Officer of the Year

he camne to work in uniform and I believe he drove himself there and he was intoxicated and he was demoted and allowed to keep his job and license, where as if it had been you or me we would have lost our license making this a double standard, same as the other townworker.
